Lance 228 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Sen. John McCain's senior domestic policy adviser said Tuesday that the BlackBerry mobile e-mail device was a "miracle that John McCain helped create." http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/16/mccain.blackberry/index.html So now we know we can thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet and McCain for the BlackBerry.

trublue 939 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Meanwhile, McCain senior aide Matt McDonald said that the senator "laughed" when he heard the comment. "He would not claim to be the inventor of anything, much less the BlackBerry. This was obviously a boneheaded joke by a staffer," McDonald said ===================================================================== Heard a network explaining why McCain doesn't/can't use a keyboard. He received very extensive debilitating injuries to his fingers while being held as a POW. He dictates to his wife at night and she does most of his emails for him.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 i just thought it was funny since the Al Gore thing...for those who remember. But the difference is Al Gore himself said he created the internet, it wasn't some staffer making a joke that said it... His exact quote was... "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike83 10 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mccain immediately suggested matt stick to the campaign comments and keep the jokes to himself. Matt was making a loose connection between Mccains oversight of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation being related to the "invention of the blackberry" McCain never made any comment supporting such an ignorant claim. Lance, seriously, if you wish to debate the current politics, pick something that is real and not invented.... Im just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike83 10 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yep, it reminded me as well, im sure it reminded everyone. the difference is ALGORE still stands behind his possessive comment, while mccain denies the claim matt made. Duece, I didnt use any "big" words, Im not sure to what you are referring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Maybe thats what they were talking about. He actually invented the blackberry. That's almost worth a vote. If he invented cobbler altogether, I'd vote for him twice...hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
